some carburetors do not use seals. The guy who connected my carburetor to
my car said that he thought my car does not use a seal. I plan to check
this with a lot of stores that sell parts - I called 1 store - they said
there is not any seal for my car in their computer. I checked stores on
the internet for a seal - I do not see any seal for my car in their
computer. If my car needs a seal this could make my car have a 6000
idle.

The dealer will have a book with a picture of the carbuerttor, the manifold,
the nuts washers and studs. If there's gasket it will be in the picture too.
They mayw have one in stock, if not you can cut a gasket fron card (like a
cornflakes box). ounch the bolt holes, smear grease on one of the
mating surfaces and print it onto the card. cut out the shape.

Thank you for all answers.

I do not know any thing about cars.

Before the carburetor needed to be fixed the carburetor was always movin
around on my car - the bolts were loose to an extreme - all the time a lo
of air was getting into the car - all the time the idle was normal. Th
people who made these car were good at making cars. The high idle is no
associated with a seal. I think Rick is right - a vacuum leak would no
make a idle that is 6000. The bolts are tight now.

I think with Honda cars - when the metal plate lets a lot of air in th
carburetor the idle becomes low - when the metal plate does not let a lo
of air in the carburetor the idle increases. I think the metal plate i
not letting any air in the carburetor.

Jasen is right - the carburetor has a throttle stop screw - the guy ha
been a mechanic for about 50 years - the guy was changing the throttl
stop screw but the idle would not change.

I think Rick and Jasen are right - the wire of the fuel cut off solenoi
needs to be connected to the car.

needs to be connected to the car.

The question still is whether the butterfly is open at idle or not. If you
leave off the air cleaner or anything that connects to the top of the
carburetor and look down the carburetor throat does it look more like this
stuck open butterfly?

Or this normally closed butterfly?

Forget the issue of the solenoid for the time being until you have fixed the
problem with the engine racing when it should be idling. They are two
unrelated problems.

Rick thank you.

I have some friends who know a lot about cars. They work a lot and the
travel a lot. I found 1 of them - the person said he thinks he knows ho
to connect the wire of the fuel cut off solenoid to the car. The perso
has fixed my car many times. I am trying to get the person to come ove
to my car. He said he would.

I do not know if he knows how to change the idle. I guess my car does no
have a throttle stop screw.

I plan to look at my carburetor and the metal plate. My cover is not o
my car. I think the metal plate will not let any air in the car when th
car is off.
